Her Eye Was So Swollen Even Her Banking App Didn’t Recognise Her 💛

Another beautiful reminder this week of how simple, gentle and powerful energy healing can be.

My friend Stella has a recurring problem with one of her eyes becoming badly inflamed and painful because of a permanent shunt implanted after a previous medical issue. We’ve worked on this before but because the shunt is still there, the irritation can build up again over time.

This time it became really severe.

Her eye was so swollen and inflamed she could barely open it. Her face had changed from the swelling and discomfort.

In fact… her facial recognition banking app literally stopped recognising her 😄

That was the moment we both had to laugh a little despite everything.

So once again we worked with EMO Energy in Motion, bringing healing through love, allowing energy flow with gentle attention and intention.

No fighting the pain.
No panicking.
No battling the body.

We started by simply allowing what was there.

Breathing. Softening.
Being with the discomfort instead of resisting it.

Then bringing gentle loving attention to the pain and inflammation. Noticing how it actually felt in the body.

This part matters so much.

Because when we stop fighting pain the energy underneath it often starts changing very quickly. We know the saying ‘what we resist persists’, well it is actually true.

Then we introduced intention very gently, wondering whether the pressure could become lighter… whether the pain could soften… whether the stuck energy could begin flowing again.

That’s one of the things I love most about this work.

It’s so simple.

We’re not “forcing” healing.
We’re not trying to overpower the body.

We’re working with energy, and energy responds incredibly fast to attention and intention to soften and to flow. Treat an energy problem with an energy tool. The right tool for the job.

Within less than 20 minutes:

  • the pain disappeared,
  • the swelling reduced,
  • she could open her eye again,
  • the pressure had gone,
  • and yes… she could finally get back into her banking app 😄

Honestly, moments like this still make me smile.

People often think healing has to be complicated, hard, dramatic or forceful.

But sometimes healing is surprisingly simple, gentle …. and incredibly powerful.

Sometimes the body is simply waiting for permission to relax, soften and flow again.

We really do not need to stay trapped in suffering as often as we think we do.

Healing is possible, even when someone has been carrying pain for a long time.

When Pain Finally Softens With Love

I just had one of those sessions that reminds me why I love energy work.

A lovely lady, let’s call her Mary, came for a free intro session for Healing Pain With Love having attended a recent podcast interview with Althea Finch on the subject. Honestly, she sounded exhausted when we first spoke. Her voice was heavy with pain and grief.

She’s been suffering with chronic sciatica, TMJ, bloating in the abdomen, headaches, back pain, digestion problems, a painful chesty cough… and underneath all of that was huge heartbreak.

She lost her husband 10 months ago, and then recently another family member close to her died too. You could feel how much her whole system was carrying.

Sometimes grief doesn’t just stay emotional. The body carries it too.

We spent about 45 minutes together, gently working with the EMO Energy in Motion approach: allowing what was there instead of fighting it, looking at the pain with love instead of fear, softening with intention, breathing, allowing energy to flow again, helping the nervous system relax enough to let go a little.

I also explained some basic energy principles to her as we worked and she completely resonated with it. You could see things clicking into place for her.

And honestly… the shift was amazing.

By the end of the session:

  • her tummy had visibly softened and the bloating reduced,
  • digestion felt calmer,
  • her head felt clearer,
  • the sciatica had eased,
  • TMJ relaxed,
  • the cough loosened,
  • emotionally she felt so much lighter.

But what really got me was HER.

Her face had softened. She was smiling. Her voice sounded lighter and more alive. The whole energy around her had changed.

Later she told me she’d had the best day she’d had in 3 weeks and her son couldn’t believe the difference in her, telling her, she had to carry on with this approach.

Then a couple of days later she said “I had the most beautiful day, walked to the shops by myself for the first time in 6 months” 🙏 I’m so thankful and blessed to have assisted in this.

And this was just the intro session.

She’s now booked 5 more sessions so we can continue gently working through both the physical pain and the bereavement journey underneath it all.

I finished the session feeling emotional too, actually. Grateful. Happy. Moved.

Sometimes people just need a compassionate space of acceptance to soften safely.

To stop fighting themselves.

To be met with love while their body finally exhales.

That’s when healing can begin.

“Healing is possible, even when someone has been carrying pain for a long time.”

The Sanctuary of The Heart – Album

Over recent days I have been quietly bringing together a collection of poems and prayers that have arisen across different moments of my inner journey.

These pieces, now set to music, form The Sanctuary of the Heart, a 12-track listening experience created as a gentle space for healing, reflection and renewal.

Each track reflects a different stage of the heart’s healing journey.

From moments of tenderness and woundedness, through allowing and deep emotional healing… into compassion, awareness, surrender… and finally into a quiet sense of peace and reconnection with the deeper self.

It was not originally planned as an “album”, but as the pieces came together, a natural sequence revealed itself. It’s almost like a small inner retreat that can be entered at any time.

You are welcome to listen in whatever way feels right for you:

– following the full journey from beginning to end as a mini retreat
– or simply choosing a track that calls to you in the moment

If you would like to experience the full sequence, you can listen here:

When Conflict Becomes a Doorway to Wisdom

She came with a familiar pain.

An ongoing tension with her son, two very different beings, like chalk and cheese, struggling to meet each other in harmony. She wanted to know how to respond differently… how to find peace within the friction.

So we began, as we do in Star Therapy, by looking not at the problem but at the light.

The first Star Memory appeared.
Her son was 12. There had been an accident. They were on the way to the hospital.

And yet… it was a beautiful day.
Blue sky. Sunlight filtering through the forest. A sense of stillness and oneness surrounding them.

In that moment, two truths existed at once:
Her son’s vulnerability… and the vast, peaceful wholeness holding them both.

She felt the tenderness of wanting to protect him, to lift him out of pain while simultaneously being held inside something much greater.

A poignant, powerful paradox.
